# POST-NUCLEAR WAR FEUDALISM
### The current state of the world after the Greatest War, or also called, Second World War.
The world of Astralis has been baptized in nuclear fire, hotter than the very surface of Sol, and we have paid the ultimate price for it.
More than 30% of the world population has been killed by the bombardment itself and its after effects, in a world full of disease, dangerous mutations, radiation, contaminated water, famine and the mindset of a medieval “kill or be killed” spirit.
Most of humanity has done its best to survive this absolutely hostile environment in the underground, but now resources run low, and people crave to once again walk the steppes of our planet.
But it will not be easy, as many sectors without contact in this period proclaimed themselves independent and established themselves as Warlords, governors of local militias and mercenary gangs with potent capabilities in the art of warfare, often led by former Generals, Commanders and Officers. These states are not to be underestimated, doing so may mean humiliating defeat for anyone who dares to challenge them in the irradiated battlefields of Astralis.
But they are not the only threat that has risen, as smaller groups, marauders, scavengers, mutated packs, mutated animals and insects, all inhabit the “gray zones”, areas without a claimant, that possess no Law and Order of their own, these areas are a total example of anarchy, and it takes sustained military operations and skirmishes to capture and assert claims over the land.
Logistics will be key, and fielding armies at anything over the battalion size will be absolutely impossible with the collapse of the world’s infrastructure. Fuel is limited, so anything more than small-scale naval and air warfare — very fuel intensive endeavors — are completely out of the question at the moment.
But this will not be the situation forever, survive, conquer and surpass the storm.
